about

Otho Roi was commissioned to compose pieces, which the group then performed live as a part of Michigan State University's March 18-27, 2022 production of Ike Holter's powerful play "Hit the Wall."

"Hit the Wall" tells the story of the historic Stonewall Riots with a spirit of rebellion and self-affirmation. The historic confrontation in the summer of ‘69 upended the marginalization and prejudice that incited the LGBTQ+ community and reveals ten unlikely revolutionaries caught in the turmoil and fighting to claim “I was there.” Otho Roi has strived to reflect that spirt in this studio recording of material written for the show.
